I think you're forgetting one, which might actually apply to more people than you'd think. And that's the fact that they might not actually be making more gains, only that its easier for you to see a friends progress and thereby feeling like they're making more gains than you, since things will seem like they're going slower for you than them.

You've overlooked I think the biggest pitfall that gets people trapped in novice purgatory: Lifting too heavy relative to current strength level to the point where you can't actually control the weight, you're using momentum or your surrounding muscles to lift the weight, not your actual TARGET muscle, you're rushing the eccentric, your range of motion is poor, etc. Often times the focus is on "are you training to failure?!" When really I see lots of newbs going way too hard in the gym that they barely make any gains.

I only work out 1-2 a week 30~40 minutes going to positive failure.. I've seen nothing but gains, far beyond what I got before adapting this way of training. When it starts hurting and my brain is telling me I'm done.. I usually still have somewhere between 50~100% more reps left in the tank.. Maybe I could make faster gains by working out more and stopping shy of failure like people seem to consent on.. but this way is so time efficient. Plus, if you know what you're doing it's pretty safe too.

My brother got me to go to the gym some months ago, and where he's training 2*2 hours I decided to do 4*1 hours. Personally I think that's very close. Yet in a few months I've come very close, and for some muscles even exceeded, his personal training weight. I was convinced it couldn't just be the 4*1 instead of 2*2, but this video gives me a better idea. I've done boxing for several years in the past, and while there is some strength to get from that, the thing that's more convenient from that time is that we were actually training in that "fighting spirit" a bit. So I'm probably conditioned to go much closer to failure, resulting into faster progress (and being 'newer' probably means I'm also not as likely to slack a bit for a session).

You likely also have higher muscle endurance from the boxing training, exemplified by that 4h block of training, which doesn't seem to be something everyone can do.

Now, if I do 2 different exsrcises that mainly target the same muscle group shoud I go to failure on both last sets or just on the last set of the second exercise?

If you aim to weight loss. Can it work like this: Lets say you’re suppose to eat 1500kcal a day, and one day you only ate 1200kcal. Does that mean that the following day, you can technically eat 1800kcal?
@ElizabethUkeh7 ай бұрын

@Winion4887 ай бұрын
the phrasing of your questions a bit ambiguous so ill just explain it like this: to lose weight you have to eat below your maintenance calories EVERY day (maintenance calories is the amount of calories required to stay the same weight) so if your maintenance is 1800 you have to eat less than 1800 every day to lose weight, how much less determines how much weight you lose per week. you can eat less some days and more others but aim to at maximum eat up to maintenance.
@puckerm9_7 ай бұрын
I could be wrong but if you ate 1200 today & 1800 the next day. You technically cancelled the deficit which means it's the same as you eating 1500 on both days which as you mentioned is your maintenance. If you're generally wondering if you could eat more on some days. You absolutely can and my advice would be to track your calories on a Weekly basis instead of a day-day basis. 1500kcals x 7 days = 10500kcals. Eat anything less per week, you'll lose weight & anything more you'll gain. Hope this helps.

So stop bullsh*ting, genetics is VERY important.

It's huge gap, combined with ugly shape, very round bellow, plus UNEVEN pecs. Plus asymmetrical abs. And skinny arms, arms that do no grow, no matter what you do. And big waist, and very narrow shoulders, And many more things like that. If you are like that, and you are giving you're best, trying to make the left pec grow a little faster, but it won't grow... trying to put just a bit of mass on your delts, to get rid of the A shape... not even daring to dream of a V shape... ... and you see a guy with a huge back and big delts, with a tiny waist, with nice, even, full pecs, with zero gap, with abs that look like perfect aligned squares... that comes FOR THE FIRST TIME in the gym... and after only 2 months he is much bigger (without steroids, only thanks to perfect genetics)... please tell me that it's ok, and that genetics don't matter, just give your best... sure, just be yourself bro, exactly like a 6'4" guy with perfect square jaw tells to a 5'2" guy with a non existent chin... sure dude, motivational speech is nice, when you are in the top 0.1%.

I can rep and rep and might slow down a bit, but I can't tell when I've reached my limited until my muscles literally don't do what I want. I've worked out so hard that we were ending with pushups and I went to my knees and when I tried to get into position I just fell flat on the floor. No resistance, no pain. Just flop. That was funny.
